Chiropractic Treatment: Relief from Nerve Pain

One major problem that brings patients to see a chiropractor in Brick NJ is nerve pain. Called neuropathy or neuropathic pain, many people suffer from this debilitating, chronic condition. The pain comes from central or peripheral nervous system damage. Peripheral neuropathy (also called neuritis) can be successfully treated by an experienced chiropractor in Brick NJ. With treatment, pain and other symptoms can be reduced or eliminated.

Where Nerve Pain Originates

The body’s nervous system includes the central nervous system and the peripheral. The central nervous system refers to the brain, encased in the skull for protection and spinal cord, protected by vertebrae. Nerves attach to the spine through tiny holes in the vertebra. Nerve signals control many basic functions including immune response, pain perception and organ function.

Pressure or irritation can injure the peripheral nervous system, which, outside the spinal cord, isn’t protected by bone. Nerve roots growing out from the spine are exposed and vulnerable to neuropathy from the body’s muscle tissue and bones. Any misalignment of the spinal vertebrae can interfere with and distort the nerve messages. Common causes of nerve damage include traumatic injury, infection, metabolic issues and toxic-substance exposure. Those with conditions like diabetes or fibromyalgia are also vulnerable. Severe interruptions of injured or compressed nerves can lead to organ dysfunction.

What Chiropractic Can Do for Nerve Pain

Chiropractic treatment and adjustment can remove pressure and stress on the peripheral nervous system– and eliminate pain and other associated symptoms. If you have symptoms of peripheral neuritis, such as numbness, pain, weakness and/or a tingling sensation in the hands and feet, go see your chiropractor in Brick, NJ today.
